Dr Pothuiaje has bought out Dr. Cronk’s interest in the Nott Rupture Cure and will go to Indianapolis about Aug. Ist. The Dr. has hosts of friends here who will very much regret his departure, but who also “wish him well” in his new under taking. About ohe half of the population went to Rensselaer Thursday to see the Ball game and purchase ex. perience and some other Rensselaer “commodities.” It came high but the “Sports” were bound to have it, at any price, and succeeded in securing a very superior article, which was guaranteed by the purchaser to be the genuine thing, all wool, a yard wide and warranted not to fade.” * The Y. P. S. C. E. of the Christian church held a social at Mrs. Brown’s home Thursday evening. Owing to the rain it was very poorly attended but those p~esgnt report an enjoyable time. Col. Griffith fell down the cellar way at Jess Allman’s store and gave his ankle a very serious sprain. It was the same ankle that was broken last year, this making the sprain doubly painful. It is sincerely hoped that he will not be laid up very long with it. The chime of “wedding bells” is again sounding on the air, and will soon be audible to all the town. Ed, MaxweH’s dray team made things lively for a few minutes Monday morning running away, smashing another man’s wagon and various other things. Mr. and Mrs. M. B.

The Bonita’s, wishing for a pleasure trip invited ‘‘the boys” to take a ride on a hay rack; so engaging Milo and the mules they started for Goodland. The ‘mewels’ it is needless to say, failed utterly in their character of locomotives, and ODly succeeded in landing their load, after along and tedious trip, at the home of M. G. Traugh, where elaborate preparations had been made for their reception. So much time had been consumed in getting there, that they were obliged to bolt the dainties put before them and make a mad rush for the 11 p. m. train to return their guests to Iheir fond mammas leaving the mules to follow on a flat car the following day.
